While the couple are active on social media, they recently made headlines when Elena set up a GoFundMe for Trump. The reason? On February 16, the former president was ordered to pay a nearly US$355 million fine, plus around US$100 million in interest, by a New York court in a civil fraud case, per AP News.

Just days after the verdict, Elena had raised more than half a million for the former president, whose net worth Forbes estimates at US$2.6 billion. Netizens have criticised the move as seemingly taking advantage of ordinary people.

Still, that hasn’t stopped the Cardones from continuing their campaign for the 2024 presidential candidate. At the time of writing, the “Stand with Trump” GoFundMe page has raised more than US$1.3 million thanks to more than 23,000 donors.

As for how Trump will get his hands on the cash, Elena says she is working with the former president’s team to “ensure that he can and will accept the funds raised” and to “navigate this process carefully and legally”, per Yahoo! Entertainment.
